Chapter 66: The Prisoner
Bang!
The dull sound of the bars being pounded echoed through the dimly lit cabin, and a loud sound sounded like a knock on Charlotte's ears, striking his eardrums. The boy opened his eyes in a daze, sat up, and looked at the pirate who was banging on the bar.
"Wow!" the pirate smacked his mouth at Charlotte, who had just woken up, "Damn, I slept worse than Artemis." He's a pig enough to think you're more like him. ”
The pirate referred to Artemisia as he was a member of the ship, and was known for his lethargy. Once, when he was engaged in a battle with the Empire's navy at sea, Arterode fell asleep in passivity the whole time. It wasn't until after the battle that the crew realized that one man was missing, and the pirates eventually found him in the bed in Artemisia's room, earning him the nickname 'Sleeping Pig'.
"Don't bother, eat the dead pig!" the pirate standing outside the cell pushed the bowl full of food into the cell through the gap under the iron prison, and then sat back in a chair not far away.
Since Vice Captain Wright gave a death order, this group of pirates didn't dare to do anything to Charlotte, and at most scolded two sentences.
The teenager in the cell was not in a hurry to eat, and after stretching, he got out of bed and picked up the big man full of food, put it on the desk, and went to the barrel to wash up.
After barely washing under limited conditions, he shook his heavy head to wake himself up a lot, although he said that he had replenished a lot of sleep, but his head was still a little dizzy due to the long-term tense nerves.
(Maybe it's overtired.) )
Charlotte thought as she walked over to the desk and sat down, subconsciously picking up the wooden spoon and putting the food in her mouth.
In the next second, he squirted food into his mouth with a wow, and due to the dim light, Charlotte didn't see the food clearly, but who knew that it was so unpalatable. He looked at the bowl of unnamed minced meat, mixed with orange and green gravy, giving off an unspeakable unpleasant smell.
There wasn't even a little vegetable in the bowl.
This one... Although it is impossible to ask for more as a prisoner, it is a bit beyond imagination.
(I hope you don't have a bad stomach.) He put up with the unpalatable taste and forced the food into his mouth. There is no way, in this situation, Captain Morey also ordered to bring food to himself, so thank God.
After a quick finish of the bowl, Charlotte placed the bowl and wooden spoon on the floor and pushed them out of the cell through the gaps under the iron prison. When he was done, he stretched and walked to the bed, put the quilt on his side and went to sleep.
The pirate, who was sitting not far away, saw that the boy had gone to sleep again after his meal, and he walked over and knocked on the iron bar vigorously, as if to disturb Charlotte from letting him sleep again.
This time, Charlotte lay on the bed and ignored the pirate, and after about half a minute, the pirate shook his numb arm and shouted at Charlotte for being a 'sleeping pig', then packed up his dishes and left the cabin to the laughter of his two companions.
Charlotte, who was on the bed with her back to the door, just pretended to be asleep and didn't really fall asleep. His eyes were closed, and he used his soul power to examine the wounds hidden under the bandages.
To Charlotte's surprise, most of the wounds on her body had already scabbed over for a while, and even some of the wounds had fully recovered, leaving no scars. Even the wound on the calf, which had been pierced by the dagger, only began to scab over at this time, as if it was not a serious injury, but just a bloody scratch.
(What the hell is wrong with me?!) I was extremely shocked, the wound on my body would never heal for a few weeks, but what is the situation now?
Didn't you wake up?
Charlotte, who did not believe in evil, swept his body with soul power, but the result of the feedback was still the same.
Yesterday, during the 'sacrifice', Charlotte had already sensed that something was wrong with his body, and the wounds on his body during the battle did not hinder the use of his strength. After escaping from Ziyuan City to entering the forbidden land, he obviously suffered a lot of heavy injuries, but for some reason, he has almost recovered by now.
In order not to let the pirates outside the cell notice that something was wrong, he deliberately snored with his eyes closed. The recovery from the injury was faster than Charlotte expected, but it was a good thing to be able to recover sooner rather than later, either way.
After discovering that his body injuries were fine, Xia Luo gathered the soul power of his whole body and began to check the condition in his body, only to see that a large amount of 'demon fire' hidden in his body was suppressed by the bandages of cold air, and every inch of cells in the young man's body slept peacefully.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after a period of time, the 'demon fire' could still be effectively suppressed, and it seemed that the bandage that Confucius gave him was still quite useful. Besides, after experiencing several battles, the bandages that were cut off everywhere on his body were automatically sewn up inadvertently, which was really worthy of being a demigod-level creation.
(Good, everything is fine.) )
Then there is the black annular hole on the chest, the position that was originally imprinted with the 'Ring of the Five Elements' on the chest has already become a pitch-black annular hole, and the surrounding area of the cave is gathered with golden-red 'demon fire', which seems to be burning the black smoke oozing from the black annular hole, emitting an extremely faint sizzling sound.
And no matter how much these black smoke are checked back and forth with the power of the soul, there is only a mixture of negative emotions fed back from the black smoke, and Charlotte can't check anything else, and he can't know what it is.
Charlotte frowned, this annular hole was most likely caused by the pitch-black book, at this time, Charlotte wanted to summon the pitch-black book and study it carefully, but because there were two pirates outside the prison staring at him, Charlotte dispelled this idea.
......
The bottommost cabin swayed constantly, and the candles placed in various places in the cabin shook as a result, and the cabin creaked from time to time, as if it were about to collapse at any moment. The three pirates sat at the table and seemed to be cursing something, while Charlotte, who had nothing to do in her cell, lay quietly on her bed, waiting for the day when the pirate ship would arrive at the 'Foaming Seas'.
What will Morey and Wright do to themselves when they verify that the markings on the islands are the same as those on the treasure map? Charlotte had no idea, and as a prisoner, he could only wait quietly in his cell for the result.
It's like being pressed to a fish board and being slaughtered by someone else.
At this moment, a footstep came from the stairs, and the sound of stamping became clearer and clearer, attracting the attention of everyone in the cabin. Half a second later, an emaciated man with scruffy yellow hair stepped down from the wooden class, carrying a barrel and a mop in both hands, and appeared to be a member of the cleaning crew.
"Yo, isn't this Eagles? I've been waiting for you for a long time. One of the pirates greeted the man and stood up to open the cell door for him.
When Igus entered the cell, the heavy door was closed again, and the man lowered the barrel and began to sweep the cell.
"Hey, Eagles. This time, you should clean it slowly, and remember to be spotless and tidy. The pirate quipped at the man, causing his companion to laugh, "Let's go to the kitchen and get something to eat, you can take your time, and we'll be back in a moment." ”
With that, the three pirates walked out of the cabin without looking back, leaving only Charlotte and the emaciated man in the entire cabin.
"Are you in charge of cleaning up?" said Charlotte, no longer pretending to be asleep, and turned to look at Eagles as she lay on her bed.
